I'm afriad you will be correctWe are getting a taste of what fighting our peers (other countries) is like.
Few resources to be fought between same group.
It is unsustainable. If prices don't come down in 2 or 3 years I think we are done. Government can provide help for a year or 2. But not really any longer.
Society is about to change and it will probably come with a huge death toll.
Energy is pretty much the foundation of our society. Will make the 2008 crisis look like a walk in the park.
The amount of job losses is going to rapidly climb in 2023.
2023 is going to be the worst year of most of our lives if government carry on as it stands today
Said it a few posts ago. People will want lizz truss dead if their family start dying because of lack of help
Main problem is that successive governments have really sat on the fence with regards to energy policy for decades.I'm really confused. Considering we've known about climate change since the 1980s, and Putin being not all he's made out to be since the early 2000s, how come we don't have more solar farms and nuclear power plants? and why hasn't the building regs changed to mandate all newbuilds have solar panels? We've just had one hell of a summer!
There's been plenty of money to spend. Maybe it's local councils refusing the plans as they don't want them building near their towns and villages?
I guess at least this is a taste of things to come.
if you are a big business your energy is locked in on a cheap rate - like McDonalds

Nestlé UK has agreed an indexed fixed price agreement with Ørsted to purchase the output of 31MW from the Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm, which was commissioned in 2018 and has a total capacity of 573MW from its 91 Siemens Gamesa 6MW wind turbines.
climate is getting warmer so you never know - they were talking about figs&avocados today in uk & hopefully we do get a mild 22 winter , even if that messes up crops next year
[guilty as charged https://bartalks.net/no-deal-brexit-could-lead-to-uk-chocolate-shortages/
Statistics showed $2.1 Billion of chocolate was imported to the UK during 2018-2019.
Chocolate supplies could become an issue because the cocoa beans are delivered through EU ports. For example, Mars brings its cocoa beans into the U.K. via Rotterdam port which then get processed in factories in the Netherlands and Germany.
The UK imports 40% of its food and 30% of that comes from Europe. Leaving the EU could lead to delays getting the produce across border control.

thing is its going to keep snowballing until something fundamentally breaks at this point, the flagrant profiteering will just continue until enough of the planet stalls out surely? Govs being forced to smooth it out is ironically probably going to drag it out longer.
No capitalism is at fault. It doesn’t matter if we had more solar farms, off shore wind farms and nuclear power plants. It would all be owned by private corporations and would still be sold on the open market. The market price needs addressing immediately, we need the wholesale market price to be frozen for the foreseeable.
Keep the Brexit talk to the Brexit threadLike all good zealots the answer to your ideas failing is that others just weren't quite committed enough to whatever isn't already working
What happens if the wholesale price is frozen?The insanity of blaming 'capitalism' for a problem whose primary cause is a certains states warring actions the negative affects which had been much worse by an inefficient and ineffective goverment mandated drive to avoid domestic fossil fuel production whilst simultaneously deploying masses of inefficient 'renewable' power sources that can't provide what is claimed in their behalf.

If whole price is frozen it prevents Europe going into a recession. It prevents millions of people taking on billions in debt, it prevents thousands of businesses going bust and therefore millions of people losing jobs and being unable to pay for mortgages, energy, goods and services.Go study what happens every time a state or organisation tries to fix prices for goods at a level that doesn't reflect the underlying supply and demand.

I’m sorry supply and demand is a weak argument with the challenges that we face. Freeze the wholesale price now before **** really hits the fan not deal the the repercussions after.
Charging more doesn’t alter anything either it just allows those in the supply chain to make more bank bro.Freezing prices won't help when there's not enough of whatever been sold in the first place to meet demand. It will intact make things worse by not dissuading a reduction in more discretionary consumption
Demonstrably not true.Charging more doesn’t alter anything either it just allows those in the supply chain to make more bank bro.
